i was trying to make duck effect somehow but i didnt get the result i really wanted.does anyone know how to?i tried using tremolo and resampling but of course it wont duck when playing the drums live.any tips please?

try compressor:sustain max attack min level max , keeping in count that the sound that has to "drive" the compression has to be the loudest (without the effect) for example a big kick louder that the rest...anyway there is also a ducking setting in the 606 gate effect but i never knew how to use ie it well...

i gave it a try but it didnt work.probably i'm doing something wrong here.lets say pad 1 for hard drums and pad 2 for bassline in low volume.i tried both effects on compressor with the settings you describe for pad 2 and pad 1 in no effect

the results i get is just compression of the bassline and no ducking while drums are playing.i tried resampling bassline with compressor but nothing as well.

if the bass is the main sound you want to be ducking the rest then try the same compressor setting i said, if it's the drums "the rule" is the same: the sound that you want to duck the rest has to be the loudest (without the compressor applied); so before everything, do volume setting of all samples and then do COMP sust MAX attack MIN lev MAXhope is now clearer

after some experimentation i realised that the effect is working after the settings you told me,except that the kick that i want to lower the volume of the bassline actually ducks it only when its on fx mode as well.

oops i'm really sorry man.i read on your first reply "the sound that has to "drive" the compression has to be the loudest (without the effect)" so i assumed this sound must not be on fx mode.my mother language is not english so sometimes its easy to make a mistake.thanks a lot for your reply man,you helped me a lot

don't worry about that, my mother language is not english, so sometimes i explain in a non english way and it could be difficult to understand at first sight glad i helped, and tell us if it works for you this compressor try

try the gate too guys. theres like four different ways to get something similar to ducking IIRC

yes i suggested that yet

have you got tips to share on the duck setting on gate effect? I talk exactly about theat "duck" part written on , after "gate" (when you turn the knob to right)...i tried it sometimes, and it ducks, but i remember that i wasn't very satisfied...for example: do you put the effect all across every samples or not?...do sidechain effect works well also with it?i'll try to experimentate again...
